Festival of Quilts and mice

I went to the Festival of Quilts twice this year - Friday and Sunday.  I bought the pattern for this bag on Friday and made it on Saturday!  Not sure it came out quite right - my denim fabric (also bought at FoQ) was too light - so I have now bought an alternative to give it another go.  It is a Beth Studley pattern and I told her on Sunday that her pattern was my first make after the show!

I have also been making mice.....  One of these is stuffed with lavender and is making Mark fall asleep in front of the telly and the other is stuffed with catnip and got posted through next door's letter box....

I also found a FQ at Festival just right to make Mark a bag for his chalk when he plays pool...  I haven't given it to him yet (it is a surprise) but I am sure he will be thrilled to have his own little bag!

In the bag - 5 by 5

 

Ta-da!!!!  From a kit - not perfect but good enough!

Well Loved

We lost Mark's dad on Monday and the contents of his care home room have come here.  His quilt has come back and is just about worn out!  Even the label is blank.  It has been well used and washed over and over.  A few holes and the binding is shredded.  Just how an old quilt should be.

Buses and cats

 I've finished a few recently but just haven't taken photos.  Bank holiday today - and it is snowing - so time to do an indoor activity!

A fugly

A mystery quilt which has gone to Auntie Sandra via Fred as they have been invited for dinner.

A cat quilt which was from a demo I did at Rocheberie ages ago....

A Kevin Carrot for Linus

A storage pod which were all the rage just a short while ago.

Another one bites the dust

 I pieced this at Park Road but quilted it here so it hasn't waited quite so long for its binding..

Old UFO

This must be one of my oldest UFOs (I think I say that a lot).  It was one of the earliest classes I  took at the Bramble Patch - I hate to think how long ago that must have been.  It has been quilted and waiting for binding for over two years as we were living at Park Road when I quilted it.  Finished now!  I am sure the class/quilt was called Serengeti Curves.
